Faith vs Fear

'Your Faith has got to be greater than your Fear'

Lyrics to '11th Dimension' - by Julian Casablancas - taken from the Album 'Phrazes for the Young'

Gordian

To be honest is a trait I always followed,
To be good at what I do is another trait I followed
To be fearless when faced with inner demons - I did cast them out

Beyond all emotion is logic, beyond Logic is emotion
The twists and turns of my reality bind me

And I find I have no sword to remove the Gordian knot from my soul.

Guilt?

Should I feel guilt at the fact I don't think of you both everyday?

Re-Evaluate.

Everything in your reality should be re-evaluated at one time or another.
In order to safeguard oneself from 'treading water'
But only from a position of security may I add, thus avoiding a mistaken case of 'Dress rehearsal rag'

Films....

Must finish watching Duplicity
Also quite looking forward to watching Awaydays
Of course I've got Watchmen the Directors cut to watch as well
..... sure there's a couple of more ...oh I know got to finish watching New in Town (inflight movie but plane landed before it finished...could have 'stacked' till the end of the movie inconsiderate sods!)...American Rom-com 'chic' movie ...but entertaining non the less..

It's pointless

'I hear you've got something to say
But first you need some people to say it to
Just before you rise from the dead'

Taken from : 'That's no way to tell a lie' by James Dean Bradfield

Reality

Reality poisons your soul? .....debate.

Revelations

Maybe that revelation you just had.........Was:

Just personal honesty laid bare?

Just you being honest with yourself?

A stripping of hope from dreams?

A sense of your own personal reality?

A humbling of your own true situation?

Clarity of your true position in the scheme of things?

The realization of the meaningless of reality?

Comprehension of your true worth?

Beware of revelations they empty your soul.

Mistakes

Some mistakes we pay too much for.
If you knew the cost before the 'event' would you still proceed and pay the 'cost' ?

But remember 'cost' is relative to either the 'event' or the 'person'

There is no .....

...Destiny
There is no will of God
There is only the evil that men do.

Bloc Party - Biko (Lyrics)

BIKO

For my sweetheart the melancholic, you have crossed the river styx
And the waves have taken you away
As I lay my head on your chest, I can hear it in your veins
Wake me up when you come to bed

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)

Was my love not strong enough to bring you back from the dead
If I could eat your cancer I would but I can't
So I keep writing these songs for you
To steal you from your grey
And we can dance in our front room again

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
I need you be strong for us
So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)

Don't you know that when you stand you stand up for the both of us
Remember that when the darkness looms
(You're not doing this alone)
Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you
I left you blueberries in the fridge, the little things that I can do

So toughen up,
Biko, toughen up (that I can do)
Biko, toughen up (that I can do)
I need you to be strong for us

So toughen up
Biko, toughen up
Biko, toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)

Resist!
Resist!
Resist!
Resist!

So toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
I need you to be strong for us (Resist! )

So toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
This world isn't kind to little things (Resist! )

(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)

Question....

If you live in hope, do you live in fear ?

This is my reality...what's yours?

Control

Power is nothing without control.
Without control you risk losing everything.

Psalm 27 - re -interpreted

"My Love is my light... Whom shall I fear?"

Friend?

Somebody once told me ' A good friend is like a good book, You can pick it up from the shelf and just go back to where you left off'

Let's be clear in this ...the supposition of the above statement is that neither you or the 'Friend' will never change over time. For instance the things that motivated you and your friend and even your friendship are they the same 'now' as they were ten years ago, or maybe even a year ago ?

Friendships are like water always moving and sometimes 'clear' and sometimes 'murky' and time passes like a 'current' between the strands of that friendship, sweeping it along or maybe even sweeping it 'out to sea'

To summaries Friendships are like any 'relationship' they need to be nurtured and cared for if they are to continue.

Quotes..."Something is Squeezing my Skull" - Morrissey

"Something is squeezing my skull
Something I can't fight...............no true friends in modern life".

Morrissey- Something is Squeezing my Skull - Taken from the forthcoming album 'Years of Refusal'

Hummm

Just that just hummm...

Christmas

Christmas is a time for families - The irony of that 'statement' is not wasted on me.
